1. Nature of Business

Blueprint Medicines Corporation (the Company), a Delaware corporation incorporated on October 14, 2008, is a precision therapy company focused on genomically defined cancers and blood disorders. The Company’s approach is to leverage its novel research engine to systematically and reproducibly identify drivers of diseases in genomically defined patient populations, and to craft highly selective and potent drug candidates that are intended to provide significant and durable clinical responses to patients.

The Company has two approved precision therapies and is globally advancing multiple programs for systemic mastocytosis (SM), lung cancer and other genomically defined cancers, and cancer immunotherapy. The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts to research and development for current and future drug candidates and commercialization of AYVAKIT/AYVAKYT, GAVRETO and any current or future drug candidates that obtain marketing approval.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1,192.6 million. Based on the Company’s current operating plans, the Company anticipates that its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to enable it to fund its current operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements.
